Cox, Castle & Nicholson

Cox, Castle & Nicholson LLP’s land use, environment and energy team advises clients across California on all aspects of land use, including entitlement processing, CEQA compliance, and related litigation, with particular expertise in the renewable energy sector. The team works on a wide range of developments, including master-planned communities, hotels, healthcare and life sciences facilities, office buildings, and electrical generation projects, and also represents government and quasi-government agencies on major initiatives. The practice is jointly led by San Francisco-based Anne Mudge, who frequently secures land use permits for wind, solar, and battery storage projects, and Los Angeles-based Andrew Fogg, who advises developers and public entities on complex entitlement processes. In Orange County, Sean Matsler handles entitlements for residential, industrial, office, and commercial developments, while San Francisco’s Margo Bradish develops risk-minimization strategies for entitlement approvals. Linda C. Klein, also based in San Fransisco and Morgan Gallagher, based in Orange County, are both experienced in CEQA matters. All listed attorneys are based in California.
